The following shabad is in Raag Jaijawantee
Raag Jaijawantee: -
An expression of feelings of satisfaction of achieving a goal, and great happiness, but at the same time it can also convey the sense of sadness of losing. An anecdote which can be used to explain this is like that of a King winning a battle, however he is then told her has lost his son on the battlefield. This particular Raag set across the feeling of putting your duty first, no mater what you inner feelings maybe like that of a saint soldier riding into battle to protect the downtrodden even if the oppressor who he shall fight was once a friend. The balance of joy and sorrow put across will keep a balance and help put in prospective ones own life achievements.

Raag Jaijaavantee, Ninth Mehl:
ਰਾਮੁ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਰਾਮੁ ਸਿਮਰਿ ਇਹੈ ਤੇਰੈ ਕਾਜਿ ਹੈ ॥
raam simar raam simar eihai thaerai kaaj hai
Meditate in remembrance on the Lord - meditate on the Lord; this alone shall be of use to you.
ਮਾਇਆ ਕੋ ਸੰਗੁ ਤਿਆਗੁ ਪ੍ਰਭ ਜੂ ਕੀ ਸਰਨਿ ਲਾਗੁ ॥
maaeiaa ko sa(n)g thiaag prabh joo kee saran laag
Abandon your association with Maya, and take shelter in the Sanctuary of God.
ਜਗਤ ਸੁਖ ਮਾਨੁ ਮਿਥਿਆ ਝੂਠੋ ਸਭ ਸਾਜੁ ਹੈ ॥1॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
jagath sukh maan mithhiaa jhoot(h)o sabh saaj hai 1 rehaao
Remember that the pleasures of the world are false; this whole show is just an illusion. 1Pause
ਸੁਪਨੇ ਜਿਉ ਧਨੁ ਪਛਾਨੁ ਕਾਹੇ ਪਰਿ ਕਰਤ ਮਾਨੁ ॥
supanae jio dhhan pashhaan kaahae par karath maan
You must understand that this wealth is just a dream. Why are you so proud?
ਬਾਰੂ ਕੀ ਭੀਤਿ ਜੈਸੇ ਬਸੁਧਾ ਕੋ ਰਾਜੁ ਹੈ ॥1॥
baaroo kee bheeth jaisae basudhhaa ko raaj hai 1
The empires of the earth are like walls of sand. 1
ਨਾਨਕੁ ਜਨੁ ਕਹਤੁ ਬਾਤ ਬਿਨਸਿ ਜੈਹੈ ਤੇਰੋ ਗਾਤੁ ॥
naanak jan kehath baath binas jaihai thaero gaath
Servant Nanak speaks the Truth: your body shall perish and pass away.
ਛਿਨੁ ਛਿਨੁ ਕਰਿ ਗਇਓ ਕਾਲੁ ਤੈਸੇ ਜਾਤੁ ਆਜੁ ਹੈ ॥2॥1॥
shhin shhin kar gaeiou kaal thaisae jaath aaj hai 21
Moment by moment, yesterday passed. Today is passing as well. 21
